Christmas has never been so wicked... In the frosted heart of a Regency Christmas, the Earl of Edgemore, Blake Fox, embodies the very essence of a roguish aristocrat. With his devil-may-care attitude and a charm that disarms, Blake is accustomed to a life where his whims dictate his actions, apologies be damned. However, this Christmas, the winds of fate blow a fiery Scottish lass, Carstine Greer, into the picturesque world of the Edgemore estate, setting the stage for an encounter as unpredictable as a winter storm. Mistaken for a mere maid, Carstine's fiery spirit clashes with Blake's unchecked arrogance, igniting a vow of revenge that could melt even the coldest of hearts. Unbeknownst to both, the gears of fate are further turned by the meddling hands of Lady Minerva, Blake’s sister, whose matchmaking endeavors are as relentless as they are well-intentioned. As the Yuletide season unfolds, the estate becomes a stage for mischievous plots, mistaken identities, and unexpected alliances. Amidst the chaos, the lines between revenge and attraction, begin to blur, challenging everything Blake and Carstine thought they knew about love and each other. Beneath the mistletoe and magic of Christmas, will the wicked Earl find himself ensnared in his own game, or will the fiery Scottish lass's quest for vengeance lead her to a different prize altogether? Can the magic of Christmas and the meddlesome strategies of Lady Minerva weave a love story that not even a roguish earl can escape? Amidst festive revelries and heartfelt confessions, Blake and Carstine’s icy encounters may just melt into a love that defies expectations.
